Now I would not be bothered with shape changing UFO images due to heat wave mirages (desert UFO shots for instance often have thermally distorted images), however..
big however..
Last nite I got an email from a friend of mine in Pennsylvania, closer towards Philadelphia taken with his smartphone. I haven't enhanced any frame shots yet to bring up the light levels, or contrast, but what was seen by him, resembles very closely the images in this Mirror.CO.UK article.
Odd coincidence, timing pretty much close within a day.

If I get a chance to perform some brightness/contrast image enhancement to my friend's .mov (he sent me 3 of them in succession), which did NOT have any aircraft/drone/copter sound present btw, (he mentioned that to me in his email), and I also confirmed and did not hear any sound other than the normal background noise one hears while doing a recording from the smartphone outside.
The image he sent me had alternating red lights aligned within or on the figure 8 from what I could see in his night-time videos..
From the UK article:
The photojournalist, who has had work published in TIME, Der Spiegel, and The New York Times, and worked for a New York photo agency covering conflict in Columbia and Angola for ten years, wrote an article in which he was adamant the object was a UFO.
He said: "I take my journalistic ethics very seriously.
"I do not manipulate my images. On Sunday, April 12, I stepped out onto my balcony, which faces East, and is located in the Rosales neighborhood of Bogotá.

Adamant: Richard Emblin
Mr Emblin added that as a "frustrated commercial airline pilot" he knew the sighting was not an earthly aircrafty.
He wrote: "I know my planes. Up close and at great distances. I know how to distinguish the sound of an Airbus A 340 to a Boeing 777. I have studied flight maps, flight routes and flightaware. I understand these machines. I admire them. There was no fuselage, no winglets, no sound. This was no plane."
The journalist, who has "risked his reputation" by posting the pictures, according to one reader, then described what the object did.
This was interesting, I have seen a few different geometry levitation type of vehicles, from Triangles to the 'holographic-style" image (over the San Luis Valley, west of Alamosa, CO), to the large silent "cylinder" (like a large silo horizontally flying over head at 500 foot altitude above me).. I have not seen this particular figure 8 geometry in a design before.
If this vehicle was over Bogotá in the earlier part of the day and then over parts of the East Coast of the US (Pennsylvania, Philadelphia area suburbs), it seems it managed to be something other than an odd isolated sighting in Colombia.
Rosales, Bogota' - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosales_%28Bogot%C3%A1%29 - Rosales is home to many embassies as it has easy access to both the North and Downtown Bogotá due to its proximity to Carrera Séptima and La Circunvalar. Other assets of Rosales are the numerous parks and creeks that flow down from the Andean mountains.
